One eye vs two eyes

I shoot right handed my right eye is open following the center of the arrow shaft to the target the left eye is squinted to the point where it is almost closed but still allows some visual through it. I see a lot of people and most of my friends shoot with both eyes open. I have tried it and I get double vision seeing two targets. Years ago when shooting a compound bow I tried it. I was using sight pins and a peep in the string. I could shoot very well this way but the lighting had to be good. If the lighting would dim I was shooting twelve inches to the left. But to get back on target all I had to do was squint my left eye and I was back on. But I have read that for the subconscious to help with your aiming you have to shoot with both eyes open. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
